    “I took this program to deepen my knowledge in cranial adjusting, increase my tool box for babies and children and learn more SOT® protocols.

    Three takeaways I would like to share about this program, are an in depth information of all common pediatric issues and adjustment protocols for treatment and more in depth cranial knowledge, learning the sphenoid and all its motions and how to properly adjust it and confidence in helping children and babies resolve their primary subluxations.

    This program has impacted me as a provider by making me more confident in correcting subluxations and speaking to parents. It has impacted my practice by increasing the number of babies being served and getting relief from their issues.

    Learning proper palate and intra-oral evaluations from this class and textbook, have increased helping more babies born in the birth community I serve with latching and TOTS. I had a case of treating a mom. The midwife went and clipped the tongue tie at day two of life.

    Since I had established care with mom, I came to check her son. He had uneven palate and a sphenoid in extreme torsion. I was able to use SOR and help release his sphenomaxillary and sphenobasilar joints. Also applying fruit jars all helped with increasing his latch on one side. Mom also reported less pain and spit up. Continued care of him eventually had him functioning and clear of his sphenobasilar restrictions.

    I have enjoyed taking this course spread out and congruently with the 10 month online course. It is really putting the puzzle together. So thank you for what you guys are doing for the profession and grateful to study with you.”

    “I took this course so that I would feel more confident with my pediatric patients. I wanted to expand the way that I analyzed their nervous system and corrected their subluxations.

    My biggest takeaways that I have shared with others have been:
    1. The first 2 hours of each seminar when Dr. Marty dives into neurology and subluxation, along with where our world is today with healthcare and why it is so important for children to receive chiropractic care
    2. There is nowhere else that I’m familiar with where you get this level of philosophy, technique, and clinical knowledge all in one
    3. Everyone who takes this says that their confidence and skill with pediatric patients grew exponentially after this course

    Personally, it was great to meet and connect with other chiropractors who share this philosophy and passion for pediatric chiropractic. Professionally, as I mentioned, this has boosted my confidence with pediatric patients and expanded my knowledge on neurology.

    A pediatric patient came in because he was failing his hearing tests at school and at the pediatrician, so they recommended tubes. The mother was uncomfortable with this, and heard about us through another parent. The child presented with a noticeable internal temporal on the left. After around 5 adjustments of clearing the cervical spine, adjusting the internal temporal, and performing the sphenobasilar adjustment, he not only had noticeably improved hearing, but went on to pass his pediatrician’s hearing test.

    I had an amazing experience. I was in a place both personally and professionally to immediately begin to incorporate this information and it has been very important to my growth as a chiropractor. In an ideal world, I believe any chiropractor who treats pediatric patients should take this course multiple times, but for now I’ll have to settle with sending as many people to it as possible.

    You both are so respected and admired in our profession. Thank you for all the work you’ve done and continue to do.”
